No More Gender Gap - 2012 US Election
Telegraph Live - US Election: Reports that the previous female gender gap that benefited President Obama has gone a new AP-Gfk Poll has found, the article notes the following, " .. Barack Obama at one point has a 16 point advantage with women over Mitt Romney. ....The poll shows Romney pulling even with Obama among women at 47-47 after lagging by 16 points a month earlier. "
Lets Get Real:
The three Presidential debates really helped Governor Romney, the Obama Camp has spent multi millions on the message that Romney was a rich guy out of touch with Main Street, the debates showed that Romney understood the pain of main street, he always took the message back to the economy. Women voters care about social issues such as abortion, but they also want a good job. On that score President Obama has failed women, thus the above poll. The Obama Team will really have to push the abortion issue, they will have to scare women that Romney will bring back in backstreet abortions, lets see if these scare tactics work folks. This blog is starting to have its doubts.
Early Vote gets to BE POTUS - 2012 US Election
BBC News: Reports that President Obama has voted early, this is an attempt to get early voters and thus the lead in early voting States.
Lets Get Real:
Thus folks lets see if this works, the Democratic Campaign machine and Unions have an effective field operation, thus should help POTUS in Ohio and Florida. The only weak point for POTUS is if he losses some big BLUE States, this would change the picture of a Obama WIN, it would be a narrow defeat. It is going to be close folks, its going to be a VERY long time, still this blog is predicting that Obama will get a 2nd term, but a Republican Congress and the wish by 2016 that he has lost, politics is not fair folks, it is a harsh business, even by winning you could lose.
